My sickly little sister is too clingy, I just keep sticking to her.

You should know that she has an important task today.

Dating!

But how am I supposed to go on a date in my current state?

and many more!

Who says you can't go on a date when you're on your period? As long as I don't tell anyone, my brother shouldn't know, and everything will go smoothly.

Correct!

Yes.

It might hurt a little.

But this is not unbearable. There is only one thing to do now: destroy the evidence, not just your own clothes, but also the bed sheets.

quilt cover.

And...my own brother's shirt.

It's dirty.

Chen Xue felt a little shy, but now was not the time to think about such things.

action.

action.

The timing is perfect; she can just toss it into the washing machine without anyone noticing. Chen Xue's idea was good, but who would have thought...

The moment the door opened, a figure came straight at them.

Who else could this person be but Chen Xia?

"!!!"

No?

Why is my older brother up?

wrong!

The focus now shouldn't be on that, but on what I have in my possession. I want to go back and destroy the evidence as soon as possible, but unfortunately... it's too late.

She was discovered by her own brother.

"Xiaoxue, you're awake? Hmm~ what's that in your hand?"

"Huh? No...it's nothing..."

Suddenly~

Chen Xue panicked.

The idea of ​​hiding things behind her back was not inherently wrong, but she forgot one thing: the number of things in her hands.

Holding it from the front is fine, but if you turn your back, you might have trouble holding it.

That's how it is now.

pat!

Just as I turned my back... a piece of clothing fell down and landed directly on the ground. It was a white T-shirt with a glaring red stain on it.

The moment this scene appeared, Chen Xue's expression changed instantly.

Oh my god!

however……

That wasn't all. Just as Chen Xue was panicking, a small piece of clothing fell down below.

At this moment~

Chen Xue had only one thought.

Finished!

Even her movements when looking up at her older brother were a little stiff. She thought she would be laughed at and talked about... but nothing of the sort happened.

But...

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"???"

No?

This reaction is wrong.

"Xiaoxue, has your period started?"

"!!!"

what?

Is it okay to ask this so directly?

negative?

But how can this be denied?

She could only nod shyly.

"Hmm~"

"You scared me! Such heavy bleeding! I thought you were injured, but it turns out... But you need to be careful at this time, don't touch anything cold... Give me your things, I'll wash them for you."

"what?"

This reaction...

Completely unexpected by Chen Xue: "Brother, your reaction... isn't a bit off?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"Isn't having your period a shameful thing?"

"Ashamed? Isn't that the reaction of all girls? Who feels ashamed? Is it your aunt? If it's her, then I'll have to say something."

"No, no, no~"

Upon hearing her mother's name, Chen Xue shook her head repeatedly: "It's not my aunt, it's the school... I remember some of my classmates were like that."

"I didn't notice when my period started, and by the time I realized it, my pants were already stained red."

"And then I was laughed at for three whole years, so... so..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xia understood.

Is it a human problem?

Do not!

It's a school.

He walked over and affectionately touched Chen Xue's face, then said seriously, "This isn't your problem, it's the school's problem."

"Don't be ashamed, don't lose face."

"Okay~"

"You're on your period, so you should rest. Leave the tasks that require getting wet to me."

"!!!"

To be honest~

Chen Xue was touched after hearing her brother's words.

Yes!

Given the atmosphere at the school, how could there be any normal people?

Therefore, they are wrong.

My older brother is right.

Upon hearing the last sentence, Chen Xue's face tensed up. If it were other clothes, no... even other periods of time would be fine.

this?

No...

However, Chen Xia was very firm in this regard, snatching the item away and instructing, "You'll be in a lot of pain for the first two days of your period, so move around less... rest more... listen to me!"

shame?

Shy?

Embarrassing?

These are all.

She had a lot to say, but when Chen Xia said the word "obedience," it was as if Chen Xue's underlying code was triggered, and she couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

Under these circumstances, Chen Xue could only agree: "Okay~"

"I was originally planning to make congee with preserved egg and lean pork this morning, but now... I'll try a different approach: red date and goji berry congee! I'll also make some ginger and brown sugar water and a hot water bottle..."

Just watch~

Chen Xia has already started arranging everything. Chen Xue doesn't know if it's just her imagination, but she feels that her brother seems to be eager to try.

I don't quite understand.

But they have no choice but to obey.

But...

She didn't go back to her room, but instead came to the sofa, a more comfortable place where she could see her surroundings more clearly, such as Chen Xia right now.

They have already gone to the restroom.

Bed sheets and duvet covers.

They threw everything into the washing machine, and when it came to their own shirts, the other person was clearly taken aback.

See here~

Chen Xue was a little nervous. Had her brother discovered something?

fine?

There was no follow-up.

The little clothes were thrown into the pool and soaked in warm water for a while before being washed. Throughout the process, the little clothes remained calm and showed no unusual behavior.

Just like any other day, which made Chen Xue breathe a sigh of relief.

But soon...

She discovered something.

wrong!

something wrong.

The absence of any abnormality is the biggest abnormality. Putting aside everything else, just the little clothes alone clearly go beyond the normal sibling relationship, especially the little clothes at this special time.

This……

on purpose?

Chen Xue had initially thought this way, and even had some expectations, but after seeing her brother's calm expression, she came to her final conclusion.

All I can say is... my older brother is still a bit too slow on the uptake in this regard.

Slow-witted older brother Xiao Chen~

ε=(´ο｀*))) alas

The clothes are washed~

The porridge is almost ready.

However, Chen Xia didn't rush to eat; instead, she went to do something else.

Ginger syrup~

This wouldn't have been a big deal, but when she saw her brother peeling the ginger, she was a little confused: "Brother, why did you peel it? Wouldn't it be better to just slice it?"

"you do not know?"

"Know what?"

“…………”

Looking at her younger sister, she really didn't know.

He immediately began to explain: "All things are classified as cooling, warming, or hot, and ginger is considered hot, which is why it is used as a material to warm the uterus."

"However... ginger peel is cold in nature, and it is extremely cold."

"Therefore, when making ginger syrup, you need to remove the ginger peel. Only in this way will the ginger syrup retain its original effects."

"!!!"

Chen Xue felt she had learned something new.

Can you do this?

But soon...

She realized something: "Wait! Brother, how do you know all this? And why are you so skilled at it? Could it be... you've taken care of other women like this before?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Chen Xia spoke calmly, "This is a skill I learned while writing novels, and I'm somewhat fortunate..."

"What's there to be thankful for?"

"I'm so glad I learned this skill, otherwise I would be completely clueless and I would be anxious... and you would be in pain too. The preparations are almost done, now it's time to cook it."

Is that so?

Yes!

Whether it was the first book I read that summer, or this one now.

They all have similar plots.

perhaps……

Chen Xia also looked forward to the day when she could take care of people like that.

Conversely~

Chen Xue is the same.

This was one of the scenes she had been looking forward to. Looking at her busy brother, Chen Xue felt a little fortunate that she had read the novel from that summer.

I'm so glad I came to this place.

Thankfully...

I have many ideas.

But just as she was thinking about these things, the vibration on her phone caught her attention. It wasn't the clock, but her log of today's original schedule.

What are you doing?

A date!

Because of the failure of the first date, she was really looking forward to the second date, and everything was ready.

But who would have thought...

I encountered this kind of thing.

"Brother, weren't we planning to go on a date today?"

"What date? You...?"

originally……

Chen Xia wanted to say something, but after seeing Chen Xue's pale face due to menstrual cramps, all her words of advice vanished.

Instead, she offered a comforting remark: "Don't overthink it. A date... no! It should be 'going out and having fun,' anytime is fine, a few days won't make a difference."

"Can……"

"Your health is the most important thing right now, nothing else matters. Rest first... I'll take you out to play after your period ends."

“…………”

Okay~

That's the only way.

I ate breakfast, and after that, I went back to the sofa.

I have to say...

My older brother is so thoughtful; he not only brought ginger tea, but also a hot water bottle and fruit.

Cherry~

This is also considered a warm-natured fruit.

Chen Xue can definitely eat it, mainly because it's sweet.

Delicious~

Sweet things can make people feel happy. Enjoying her older brother's service, Chen Xue was in a good mood, and even had a special feeling.

It seems...it appears...

My period came in pretty good shape.

Aside from the fact that washing baby clothes was a little embarrassing, that's all in the past now.

It's nothing.

Chen Xue originally thought things would continue like this; her period was uncomfortable, but it was just discomfort, and it shouldn't hurt too much.

This was her thought that morning.

It can be in the afternoon.

Not right.

Just as she was lying on her brother's lap, watching someone, a sharp, needle-like pain suddenly shot through her lower abdomen.

At first, Chen Xue didn't take it seriously.

But later.

Not right.

The pain gradually intensified.

Chen Xue, who had originally intended to lie down, immediately changed her position and sat up, her hand involuntarily falling onto her lower abdomen.

That face...

It turned white instantly.

Chen Xia naturally noticed this: "What's wrong?"

"My stomach hurts, it hurts so much..."

Really!

That appearance was definitely real, and Chen Xue didn't understand why she was fine in the morning, but suddenly changed like this in the afternoon.

"Should we see a doctor?"

"No need, no need... a little rubbing is enough..."

Indeed~

Just rub it in.

Menstruation isn't a new thing; it's been going on for several years now. Back then, Chen Xue always took care of it herself, and that's exactly what she was thinking this time.

But soon~

She was thinking of something.

and many more!

Before coming to her brother's house, she needed to massage herself.

After arriving at my brother's house, do I still need to massage it myself?

Didn't this brother's trip to his house go to waste?

She had heard that it felt good to have your stomach rubbed by your boyfriend. Maybe her brother wasn't her boyfriend yet, but she could get a preview of what that meant.

So...

Chen Xue looked up, her expression pitiful, and asked, "Brother, could you rub my stomach for me?"

"???"

what?

Chen Xia was stunned when he heard this request.

Rubbing my stomach?

It's nothing.

But Aunt Flo's belly is completely different from a normal belly. She could agree to other requests, but this one... really gave Chen Xia a headache.

However, before he could figure it out, Chen Xue's voice appeared again.

And at the same time...

She grabbed Chen Xia's hand: "Brother, help me...it hurts so much."

"Can……"

"Please, it hurts so much...it really hurts. Look, my hands are not only ice cold, but they're also sweating."

Is that so?

Yes!

Just as Chen Xia hesitated, Chen Xue's voice came again: "It's through clothes...it's nothing. Besides, you're my brother, it's reasonable for a brother to take care of his sister, right?"

“…………”

Is that reasonable?

Not sure.

Or rather... Chen Xia understood that this behavior was wrong, but seeing Chen Xue's pained expression, she ultimately chose to accept it.

"Alright, come here..."

"Thanks, bro~"

The pajamas and pajama bottoms I wore this time provided a layer of protection.

But this kind of protection is no different from trying to cover up the truth.

This was the first time in Chen Xue's life that a boy had touched this spot. Perhaps the lower abdomen isn't a particularly private area, but don't forget it.

What's down there?

As Chen Xia's fingers touched her, Chen Xue couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

"Hmm~"

"pain?"

"N-nothing..."

At this moment, Chen Xue's face turned bright red, wondering why she had made such a sound.

So embarrassing!
